I only get them if I use a too-rich cream around my eyes, or if I have been touching my eyes a lot because my contacts were irritating me. Have you changed anything in your skincare routine that might be causing them?

I read on a site that gentle and regular exfoliation is supposed to help.. never tried getting them extracted though. I have a comedone extractor of my own and it's never worked. Does it work when you go in professionally? How long do the results last?

i forgot to mention previously that my mom's derm told her that she had the milia due to using sunscreen with zinc oxide in them. other brands have zinc alternatives that can also cause the milia he said.

I had one this year. Normally it is recommended you wait and it will go away by itself, but it didn't. I managed to get rid of it without going to a dermatologist or something. Though getting it out was quite painful. It healed fairly quickly, but I was a bit red/purple there for a few days. It didn't leave any horrible scar.

Could you please share? I'd love to know how other ppl do it. I'm always afraid I'm gonna poke my eye out since I have them on my eyelids or in the corner of my eyes

Oh, I see! I've only had two and they have both been almost one cm below my eye so it was easy, but I can see how it would be scary to try to squeeze one on your eyelid or the corner of your eye. Also, with what I did it involves some pressing down and I'm not sure if you can really do that as easily in the places where you have milia. I'm sorry that I can't help you. Microdermabrasion does help, but it's not really something that you can put so close to your eyes in case it falls into them.
